U.S. Olympic silver medalist and DeVry University alum, Chris Mazdzer, delivered the keynote address at the university’s Chicagoland area commencement ceremonies on Sunday, Aug 5. More than 700 DeVry and Keller Graduate School of Management graduates were conferred at the Rosemont Theater in Rosemont, Ill.

The three-time Olympian captured the silver medal in men’s singles luge at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang, marking the first men’s singles medal in U.S. history. Mazdzer is also a 2015 graduate of DeVry University, earning his bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in finance.

“You have prepared yourself for today and for the future. That's what you have accomplished here at DeVry. There is a reason you enrolled at DeVry, some vision of a goal you have—and I know many of you have held down jobs during your studies and managed family obligations and juggled busy lives to get here today. Well now is the time to go forward and trust that preparation,” said Mazdzer in his address.
